The first iteration of this root was unglossed ᴱ√SḶKḶ in the Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s with derivatives like ᴱQ. salki “grass” and ᴱQ. silki- “mow, scythe, mow down” (QL/84). It also had derivatives in the contemporaneous Gnomish Lexicon such as G. salc “green cut grass, ensilage” and G. salca- “to scythe or mow” (GL/66). The root reappeared as extended ᴹ√SALÁK-(WĒ) in The Etymologies of the 1930s with derivatives like ᴹQ. salqe “grass” and N. salab “herb” (Ety/SALÁK).
